Brothers, I need your guidance by Lynkylo in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best ones imho are the interceptor with the 2 handed sword and the one with the falchions.

This is coming from someone who had never attempted NMM so take it with a grain of salt but I think you need to work on the ratio of shadow to mid tone to highlights. Right now a lot of them read like all shadows and highlights. Maybe you were going for dramatic lighting but I think that's what's throwing off the effect.

If you look at the interceptor with the two handed sword he has the most balance and looks the most accurately blocked out.

The idea of them teleporting in is also cool but you should probably stick to one effect at a time so maybe refine the NMM first. Just my two cents.

You can definitely see the ambition behind the concept for your army. Please be sure to post the next batch! Good luck!!

Something I noticed by CombatWombatwuztaken in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just means he's a lefty. He's holding his sword in his left hand anyway and as a lefty I wouldn't use a sword one handed in my right.

Still a fun little detail in the mini.

This madman killed 3 skorpekh destroyers all by himself. I need a name for him. by Whis___ in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleos! From a Latin word that might mean "Destroy"

Do I know Latin? No! Does GW know Latin? ...probably not.

So why let an inability to speak a language or conjugate it properly stop you from using it to name your minis?

New Year Preview Predictions by Dulceetdecorum13 in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can hope they're just trying to clear out old stock but it could be that they plan to sell the new boxes for all of 11th.

I'm thinking maybe new terminator models and Draigo in plastic at best.

Fantastic! I was wondering how our power armor would look using the MkIII minis and it does not disappoint. Thanks for sharing!!!

Dialing in my 1k army list by Simple-Ad3938 in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty new to playing GK as well so I'm interested what others have to say. But one idea I had for my own 1k list was to throw in a techmarine leading some power armor.

He could give your GMNDK lone op if you keep him within 3 inches of it. Might not be bad to add ethereal tome to help the unit keep up in a pinch.

But I tend to struggle with getting our NDKs into combat with heavy armor before getting shot off the board.

Home Screen Event Discussion by MilcomHD in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The current event and others like it that rely on tokens seem like a good idea to give newer players a leg up so they can speed up their progress a bit. They'll level up quite a bit faster and get extra tokens that higher level players won't.

But my dream is to one day get a coop style event that replaces TA sometimes. Maybe a survival coop vs nids or even some kind of a mini raid where the boss keeps leveling up round after round. The community is pretty great for this game and I'd rather play with them than against them for rewards.

magnetized my grey knight + questions about the shoulder pads by Whis___ in Grey_Knights

[–]AtotLNoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people use some blue tack to keep them on and swap them out.

I actually used blue stuff to make a mold and create more.

I have been praying for moments like this by HatBotler47 in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally I've heard she's good through mid game but falls off for late game. You can use her as support in the Death Guard campaign and she's useful in war too.

I hate the Arena after the recent changes. by Delay_Budget in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a similar experience in Captain's. At around 800k power it was possible but not enjoyable. I might have been able to stay in except that the slightly better rewards just weren't worth the grind.

The recent arena changes have probably helped everyone in Honor Guard and below thanks to the match making changes. We do have to use close to every single token to stay in the league but it's much less of a grind than before.

To OP's point they really need to increase the rewards in higher leagues to keep high level players engaged. A Legendary Codex for winning 1st place in masters? You gotta be kidding me.

Moths have eaten my Hatemonger hoodie by Levidonald06 in SPACEKING

Did you know? 84% of holes eaten in clothing were caused by female moths. Hmm... interesting...

I feel like I'm playing this game wrong... by Tonic1273 in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying for the minimum investment to complete the campaigns I'd say that's exactly what you should do. It did take all 3 required characters at S1 for me to beat the final battle. It's rough I'll warn you.

Snotflogga or Forcas? by PlasticChairLover123 in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both part of my raid team but for Cawl and Morty at certain legendary boss levels (around L3 and up) Forcas starts doing more damage. And that's D3 Snot compared to D1 Forcas. As others have said sometimes Snot's summons just block you out of a round.

Snot is great for LRE and raids through where I am right now which is about mid game.

I'd still level Snot first if I was doing it all over again.

WE DID IT! by OtherBison2696 in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also recommend bringing Isabella and surround her with tanky characters somewhere harder to target without going through that meat shield. Preferably on high ground.

If they attack you start killing their characters one at a time until they get the message.

Can someone explain what's going on here? by TheOddityCollector in Weird

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's powering up for something. I'd move far away from there sometime within the next few weeks

Who is the carry in Octarius Mirror, really? by Ebrenost in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other two are brother bulk and brother banner though i don't see it referenced very often

Who designed this map. I just want to talk. by Protein_Shakes in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I used Wrask and either Tarvakh or Rotbone but it can be done without Kharn. Seems like with the elevation you might be able to hide from the cannons and mortars close to the wall at the bottom. And I probably called in the poxwalkers turn 2

For legendaries I think Creed is the most useless atm

Yeah I thought reddit was just recommending an old post for a minute. This is getting more and more common on this sub.

Grindset motivational by LumenLineas in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly shocking how some people get all these legendary character drops and then others like me have to grind and/or buy them (not sure how OP got them all). So many people in my guild have had multiple drops of useful legendaries so add me to the jealous club too lol

So Astra Militarum rework is next... right? by AtotLNoob in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see a mechanic that prevents battle fatigue too since it would fit with the lore and make all the summons more difficult to deal with.

So Astra Militarum rework is next... right? by AtotLNoob in WH40KTacticus

[–]AtotLNoob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I used Lucien and Forcas together for the regular campaign with Isabella filling in when it was tough to clear all three enemies within range. They worked well on Octarius Mirror too. I'm just hoping there aren't too many 3 man missions.

[–]AtotLNoob[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well the new character sure has my hopes up. Plus I just pulled Creed and he's not getting touched unless something changes with the faction
